  • Component cost estimation system, component cost estimation method, cost standard data providing system, cost standard data providing method, recording medium, and computer data signal
    Patent number: 7398254
    Abstract: An external storage device of a component cost estimation system stores various cost information representing a component material and its cost in association with each other, and a component manufacturing step and a cost involved in the step in association with each other. An information processing apparatus specifies a material of a component to be manufactured, and a plurality of manufacturing steps. Then, the information processing apparatus retrieves a cost of the specified material, and costs corresponding to the specified manufacturing steps from the cost information, and estimates a cost of the component based on the retrieved costs. The cost of the component is computed by adding up the cost of the material and the costs involved in all the manufacturing steps.

  • Cost estimation method and system, and computer readable medium for the method
    Patent number: 7346588
    Abstract: A part cost estimation system including a processing cost information storage device; a shape designating device configured to designate the shape of the part; a processing designating device configured to designate contents of processing to be performed on a material to form the part having the designated shape; a processing facility designating device configured to designate a processing facility; a processing time calculating device configured to calculate a processing time; a processing cost calculating device configured to calculate a processing cost spent on manufacturing the part based on a unit machining cost and the processing cost calculated by the processing time calculating device; and an adding device configured to add the processing cost to determine a cost of the part.

  • Estimation system, estimation method, and program for harness processing
    Publication number: 20040133527
    Abstract: An estimation system has a storage unit which stores an estimation function for calculating a unit component price of a harness based on a designated processing condition, an input unit which acquires the processing condition from an estimation requester, and a control unit which calculates the unit component price of the harness based on the processing condition designated by the estimation requester and the estimation function read out from the storage unit, and stores the calculated unit component price in the storage unit.
